Dark Circles Treatment

Dark circles, also known as periorbital circles, periorbital hyperpigmentation or periorbital
melanosisis are dark blemishes around the eyes.They may or may not be associated with undereye puffiness,
bags, malar festoons etc.

What Are The Causes Of Dark Circles?

There are commonly two types of dark circles:

Blue

Brown/black

The Blue circles are formed due to pooling of oxygenated blood in under-eye skin. As skin on
this part is very thin, so blood shows through. However brown/black dark circles are most
commonly found. They result due to hyperpigmentation of skin around the eye.

They can be caused by a myriad of factors:

Heredity

Lack of sleep

Atopic diasthesis – sinus disorders, asthma

Allergies

Anemia

Medicines put in the eyes for glaucoma etc.

Immune disorders like dermatomyositis

eye strain due to insufficient sleep, long hours of computer work, etc.

Under eye volume loss and wrinkling due to aging, drastic weight loss

Hormone related disorders like acanthosis nigricans

Associated under eye puffiness could be due to :

Water retention as in premenstrual

Renal dysfunction

Hypertension

Excessive salt intake

Thyroid disorders

Undereye fat prolapse

Lymphatic insufficiency or stasis

Allergies

Alcoholism

Pulmonary disease

How Can Dark Circles Be Prevented?

Getting enough sleep is the best preventive measure.

Cessation of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption

Avoiding allergens which are substances that stimulate allergic reactions

Pigment reduction laser treatments may also be effective depending on the cause.
For treatment of blue under eye circles, intense pulsed light therapy or pulse
dye laser may be suggested to reduce these circles.

Filler/Fat injections may also be recommended.in case of dark circles due to undereye volume loss

Undereye b o t u l i n u m t o x i n is advised if there are wrinkles and fine lines under the eyes, causing the darkening.

In most of the cases, eyelid surgery also known as blepharoplasty, is generally the most effective
method if there are associated undereye bags.Best performed by a well trained Oculoplastic surgeon

Acugel or hydrafacial treatment for under eye dark circles has also been used. Acugel is a portable device
based on iontophoresis which helps to deliver the active ingredients deep into the area of skin where the
medication is generally required. This treatment improves blood circulation and reduces edema that caused
under eye puffiness. Usually 6-8 sessions may be required, depending on the depth of skin involved.
However, each session is only of about 20-30 minutes. Generally this procedure is avoided in patients with pacemakers.

If there are malar festoons, a combination of fractional co2 laser treatment with fillers or other applications may help, though it is a really difficult problem to treat.

What Must One Remember While Undergoing These Treatments?

None of the treatments is uniformly effective and there is always a need for combined approaches
to the management of dark circles.

Most effective treatment occura when underlying cause is determined.

Every skin is different, just like every individual is unique.One must have realistic expectations and
not get carried away by advertisements, results obtained in other patients, celebrities etc.

What Is The Cost Of Dark Circles Treatment?

They say eyes are the window to the soul. Stressful lifestyles, environmental pollution
and sun exposure may cause unsightly dark circles which mar your face and dull your eyes' sparkle.
Cosmetic surgery is a way to get these imperfections treated. Dark circle treatment is one such
treatment that can lighten or eliminate dark circles.

Having decided to undergo dark circle treatment, you must definitely want to find out the
cost of the procedure. The cost of dark circle treatment varies from person to person, and
the number of sittings that you will need to lighten your under-eye area. However, since
your eyes are very delicate, you should not decide where to undergo treatment on the basis
of cost alone. Choose a reputed cosmetologist and clinic to undergo your procedure.
